Agree that its all straight forward But>>>>>But NOT Step 1 would be unscrew the knob. Do not try that. Sorry, doing a Lester here, but from memory under the knob there is a chrome thing, and under that is a pin that needs to be pulled out or pushed in. its been a while since I dun wun.
£362 for a new cable from the dealer. No words

Cheers. Will give it a shot tomorrow! Can’t believe the cables are £360 from Hyundai there’s really nothing to them
What a nightmare. The two nuts holding the cover plate to the bulkhead are situation behind the heater matrix/unit hence the part about taking the dash out. Managed to get them off, took about an hour or so to get them back on and tightened up 1/8 of a turn at a time using a swan neck spanner and performing amateur acrobatics so I could see what I was doing. If anyone else ends up having to do it - buy a 12mm ratchet spanner with a flexible head I think that could save a lot of time. Also used an extendable magnet (the ones for picking up dropped tools) to get the bits back in position without dropping them.I’ll post some pics but like you can see in the video the hard plastic sheath around the cable on the box end is broken (it’s quite tough so wouldn’t just break on it’s own accord) and because of a piece of metal on the cable, this catches the broken plastic and prevents it moving further in that direction. Once it was busted it would have failed immediately I can’t see it having being broken and then caused the problems later on

I feel for you mate. I hate that sort of job. Awkward and frustrating!
